Week 20: Ironically, Greer, SC again.
{We haven't been to Greer in a year and somehow we go twice in a month}

How far along? 20 weeks as of 10/24/13 Total weight gain: 6.5 lb. Maternity clothes? A mix. So far two shirts and a dress but everything else is regular clothes.

Stretch marks? Not at all.

Sleep: Better. Found a humidifier and I spray my pillows with peppermint which have helped tremendously.

Food cravings: Not a taste for anything...

Gender: Not finding out till he or she arrives.

Baby is: the size of a banana {6.5 inches, 10.6 ounces} We did however see the doctor and she estimated 12 ozs

Best moment this week: We got to see Baby M at the ultrasound appointment. She or he has all their fingers, toes, arms and legs. When we first saw the baby on the screen, it was sitting in a very Zen like yoga pose. Like mother like child.

Looking forward to: Halloween! It's always fun to see the little kids in their costumes and next year, we'll get to join them.

How far along? 19 weeks as of 10/17/13 Total weight gain: 4 1/2 lbs. Maternity clothes? So far only two things - the yellow shirt from last week and the dress I'm wearing in this photo. Otherwise I'm in my normal clothes without a belly band.

Stretch marks? Not at all.

Sleep: What is sleep? I'm so congested that I haven't had a night sleep in a while.

Best moment this week: Taking our Christmas photo {which is why I'm dressed up in this photo} as it turned into a little maternity shoot. Also, that I learned that my photographer is pregnant - very excited for her!

Big news in the Mathis family this summer! We’re expecting a little one in March and are over the moon with the thought of hearing the pitter-patter of little feet at our house soon.

Week 13: Announcement Party!

We did start capturing the weeks and decided to take the photo in different location each week. That way we’re documenting what we were doing before Baby M arrives. Since I’m behind, I’m combining week 14 and 15 together since they were pretty similar.

Sleep: Week 14 and week 15 has brought me lack of sleep. I’m having very odd dreams {several in a night} and of course visiting the restroom several times in a night.
Movement: Yesterday, I thought I felt movement but since I have no clue what “movement” really means…I’m going to go with no.

Food cravings: All day sickness has been pretty consistent so I don't have any cravings except for smoothies from a particular place in town. I tried to make them at home and there weren’t the same.

Gender: Not finding out till he or she arrives.

Baby is: the size of an apple {4 inches, 2.5 ounces}

Best moment this week: Seeing people’s faces when we tell them we’re pregnant.

Looking forward to: Checking things off our to-do list. Nursery is already painted and I think I have the crib picked out. Just need to go ahead and buy things.
